A thought that occurred to me while going through the pictures, one point of similarity between this episode and Terminal, two of Servalan's elaborate, seemingly successful and ultimately failed plots.
Though Carnell blames it on the fact that no one told him about 'the girl' it's interesting that in both cases Servalan's plan hinges on using Blake-as-bait, and in both cases, *that's* what screws up her plan before it even gets going, though no one knows it. In Terminal, her use of Blake's importance to Avon (which she both calculates *and* miscalclates) pushes him to drive the Liberator through the cloud of ick, ensuring the ship's destruction even before they reach Terminal where she's waiting. And in Weapon, she equally miscalculates what control can be held over a replica of a man whose rebellious nature goes bone deep; we can see the clone showing signs of independent thought within minutes of their meeting, a clear sign that *her* 'weapon' is going to turn on her.
